The state government has moved 26 Indian Administrative Service and 53 Rajasthan Administrative Service officers to new postings in a reshuffle ahead of the upcoming civic polls.
The Rajasthan government announced a major administrative reshuffle on Tuesday, transferring 26 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers and 53 Rajasthan Administrative Service (RAS) officers to new positions across the state.
The move, which involves officers from various departments, is part of a broader strategy to prepare for the forthcoming municipal elections scheduled for later this year.
Officials said the transfers aim to ensure a smooth electoral process by reallocating experienced personnel to key administrative roles in districts that will be under heightened scrutiny during the polls.
The government spokesperson highlighted that the changes are routine and intended to strengthen governance ahead of the civic elections, with no immediate impact on ongoing public services.
